GASOLENl-l OR GAS STOVE.

SEECIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 688,960, dated.December 17, 1901.

' Application filed June 17,1901. Serial No. 64,792. (No model.)

To all 2071,0711; it may concern.-

Be it known that I, GEORGE R.'I\IOON, a citizen of the United States,residing at C0- lumbus, in the county of Franklin and State of Ohio,have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Gasolene or GasStoves, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to the improvement of gasolene-stoves, and hasparticular relation to that class of gasolene-stoves in which agasolene-burner is adapted to supply heat through a stove-stop opening.

The objects of my invention are to so construct a stove-top and arrangethe burner with reference thereto as to prevent the heat from the burnerbeing deflected beneath the stove-top and insure the distribution of theheat beneath the vessel to be heated and to produce certain improvementsin details of construction and arrangement of parts, which will be morefully pointed out hereinafter.

These objects I accomplish in the manner,

illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a planview of a portion of a stove-top having myimprovement therein, and Fig.2 is a sectional view on line x a: of Fig. 1.

Similar numerals refer to similar parts throughout both views.

1 represents a horizontal stove-top, and 2 one of the openings which areordinarily formed therein.

3 represents a gas or gasolene burner head, and 4 the gas or gasolenesupply pipe, which leads to the usual horizontal supply-pipe valve tubeor casing 5, which in turn c011- nects with a vertical gas-dischargingvalvetube 6, the latter being in the nature of a needle-pointvalve-casing and terminating centrally below a mixer 7, which leads intothe burner-head 8. The supply of gas from the pipe 4 to the arm 5 isregulated by a valve 8, while the flow of gas from the upper end of thedischarge-pipe arm 6 is regulated by a valve 9. This construction andarrange 'inent of supply pipes and valves, however, is

well known and does not form part of my present invention, as anysuitable means for supplying gas to the mixing-chamber and burner-headmay be employed. Ordinarily great extent is deflected downward beneaththe stove-top and a suitable proportion thereof thus prevented fromacting directly upon the bottom of the vessel to be heated and which isordinarily supported upon an openwork frame or spider 10. In order toobviate this difficulty, I so arrange and support the burner-l1ead 3 asto cause the same to project through the central portion of thestove-top opening 2 and loosely surround the base of the burner with astove-top-opening filling or ring plate 11, the latter having its outerportion bearing in the usual lid-receiving recess 12 of the stove-topand having its central burner-receiving opening 11" of such size as toprovide a comparatively narrow air-space between the base of the burnerand the filling-plate 11. The vessel-supporting frame or spider'lO maybe mounted, as shown in the drawings, upon the filling-plate 11, so asto permit the support of the vessel above the burner-head.

From the construction above described it will be seen that owing to thefact that the burner is supported above the stove-top opening and thatthe latter is practically closed that proportion of the heat which isordinarily deflected beneath the stove-top might come into contact withthe filling 11, from which it is directed against the bottom of thevessel which may be supported upon the frame or spider 10. In thismanner it will be seen that the waste of heat from a gas or gasoleneburner may be comparatively slight and that a comparatively light orsubdued flame at the burner will result in subjecting the bottom of thevessel to be heated to a high degree of heat.

Having now fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

In a gasolene or gas stove, the combination with the stove-top having anopening therein, of a gasolene or gas burner projected centrally abovesaid opening and a ring-plate filling the greater portion of the spacebetween said burner-base and the border of the stove-top opening and avessel-supporting arm rising from said filling-plate and adapted tosupport a vessel above the burner, substantially as specified.
